The endlessly futile search for a good Broward sheriff | Steve Bousquet

A little news broke on Friday. A preliminary investigation is underway at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement over a sworn affidavit by Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony over whether he told the truth about having a criminal record that was sealed or expunged.

This would be the same FDLE that ran a one-day baseline Level 1 background check on Tony in January of last year so Gov. Ron DeSantis could appoint him sheriff in place of Scott Israel, a decision that has become a big mess.

“The people of Broward County deserve accountable, competent leaders who can safeguard our communities,” DeSantis said.
